Butter chicken or Murgh Makhani is an Indian dish, popular in countries all over the
world. The origins of butter chicken can be traced back to Delhi, during the
period of Mughal Empire. According to a
documentary by the Discovery Channel, butter chicken recipe was invented by a
person working in the kitchen staff of a famous restaurant called Moti Mahal
located in Daryaganj, the central region of Delhi.
While the dish's general recipe is well

India. Butter chicken is usually served with naan, roti, parathas or rice.
